The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 496 I Actually Don’t Like Killing People

Late at night, the drizzle fell like silk.

On the roadside outside Houston, a group of people were busy digging holes in the ground and burying crosses.

Schultz sat in the carriage smoking, watching his men put up the cross, and waved his hand to have them drag the men out of the carriage.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The people who were dragged down widened their eyes when they saw someone erecting a cross on the side of the road.

They all guessed what these people were going to do.

Theodore Chapman's eye sockets were almost broken, but the thing stuffed in his mouth prevented him from shouting, and he could only whimper continuously.

But no one paid any attention to them.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of horse hooves and a carriage coming from a distance.

They were stopped by the police when they were still a few hundred meters away from here. After seeing the expressionless Chen Zhengwei in the carriage, Police Chief George Esther stood there respectfully and let the drizzle fall on him.

"Mr. Chen!"

He then signaled to other police officers to clear the road.

The carriage moved forward again and stopped next to the carriage where Schultz was.

Schultz quickly jumped off the carriage, snatched the umbrella from the henchman, trotted to Chen Zhengwei's carriage, opened the door, and opened the umbrella.

The carriage door opened, Chen Zhengwei got out, and stepped into the soft mud.

Although it was only a light rain, the dirt road had already begun to turn muddy.

"Where are the people?" Chen Zhengwei looked up and asked.

"There!" Schultz looked in the direction of the cross.

Then he walked over with Chen Zhengwei holding an umbrella and said:
"Boss, that Les said he's willing to spend $10 to talk to you."

"Am I short of 10 US dollars?" Chen Zhengwei asked back without even looking at him.

"So I rejected him!" Schultz said immediately.

Chen Zhengwei walked over on the rain-soaked grass and saw several people tied up and thrown on the ground.

One of the boys, who had brown hair, was pale and trembling all over due to blood loss.

"Boss, that's him!" said Schultz.

"Did he kill everyone in his family?"

"That was his mother, and all the others were killed," Schultz said.

Then he added: "His dogs were all killed!"

"Have you dug out the earthworms and cut them in half vertically?" Chen Zhengwei asked.

"Huh?" Schultz opened his mouth wide.

"So your work is still a bit lacking!" Chen Zhengwei raised his chin: "Take the thing out of his mouth!"

Schultz removed the cloth from Theodore's mouth.

Theodore kept crying: "I did it, it has nothing to do with others."

Then he saw Chen Zhengwei raise his foot and step towards his face.

Chen Zhengwei stepped on his face in the mud, crushed it, and sneered: "It seems that you are not very familiar with me!"

"Do you think that this is a world where everyone has their own culprits and debts, and everyone is responsible for their own actions, and that if you get involved in trouble, you won't implicate your family? Have you been reading novels and become stupid?"

"In this world, if you offend me, I will kill your whole family. If you haven't offended me, but I suspect you have, I will still kill your whole family! I don't like you, so I will still kill your whole family!"

"I seldom teach people, but today I'm in a good fucking mood, and since you're a kid, I'll teach you the principles of life!"

Chen Zhengwei stepped hard and pressed half of his face into it.

"You are so damned brave that you even dare to touch my people! I thought you were really brave!"

Chen Zhengwei's face was full of ferocity.

"Nail his mother up there!"

Hearing this, Theodore immediately twisted his body wildly, but Chen Zhengwei's feet did not move at all.

"Are you fucking scared now?" Chen Zhengwei raised his feet, squatted in front of Theodore, and looked down at the young face with a teasing look.

"Fear? Regret? Hatred?"

"You should hate it. You should fucking hate that you did a stupid thing and hurt everyone. It also made me run all the way from San Francisco to here. Do you know how far I walked?" Chen Zhengwei took out a match from his pocket, lit it, and put it in front of Theodore's eyes.

Theodore shrank back sharply.

He is now truly filled with fear and regret.

He never thought that joining the KKK would lead to this outcome.

"Tsk, you are so timid!" Chen Zhengwei sneered. "Because of you, I lost dozens of people!"

After saying that, he slapped Theodore in the face and slammed his head into the ground again.

"Tell me, what do you know about the KKK, how many do you know, and how do they contact you!" While Chen Zhengwei was speaking, his men nailed the woman to the cross.

It’s the same posture as Rong Jiasheng.

"Let my mother go, please, let her go..." Theodore's hands and feet were tied, and he was crawling towards Chen Zhengwei like a maggot.

"What's the point of begging me? Answer my question first!" Chen Zhengwei kicked him away.

“I said…” Theodore’s mind was blank at this moment, there was nothing left.

He quickly told everyone he knew about the KKK members.

Then his eyes were filled with pleading: "It's all my fault..."

Chen Zhengwei pulled the pistol from Schultz's waist and pulled the trigger at the woman on the cross.

boom!
Blood flowed out of the woman's body, soon covering half of her body.

Theodore stared at the scene in a daze, then began to cry out in a hoarse voice.

"Do you think I'm a good person?" Chen Zhengwei threw the gun to Schultz.

"The boss is indeed a good man!" Schultz nodded.

At least it gave the woman a good death.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman shaking her head.

The shot that Chen Zhengwei fired hit the collarbone.

"I was just kidding him. Actually, I don't like killing people. It's too cruel." Chen Zhengwei laughed, then took the umbrella from Schultz and turned to walk towards the carriage. "Nail him up and skin him alive! Also, kill the others!"

He never watched such cruel scenes.

As for those wealthy people, he has absolutely no interest in them.

Behind him, Schultz's men nailed the people to crosses, then put them on wet firewood and doused them with tung oil.

This stuff burns easily and is easy to find in all port cities.

When it started to rain, Schultz sent people to find tung oil.

Chen Zhengwei was sitting in the carriage, and then he saw smoke coming out from under the crosses... After a moment, the flames grew bigger and bigger, enveloping all the crosses.

The young man's screams continued to be heard, but they did not last long.

The massive blood loss had already left him with no strength.

Chen Zhengwei lit a cigar and smoked for a while, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the carriage.

In fact, he likes rain very much.

Rain always brings peace of mind.

On the contrary, it is the sultry heat before the rain that makes people feel anxious.

As the last cross was lit, Schultz led his men back to Chen Zhengwei's carriage and waited quietly in the rain.

After finishing his cigar and the flame of the last cross went out, Chen Zhengwei waved his hand.

"Let's go back!" The carriage went more than a hundred meters and saw the police on the roadside.

Chen Zhengwei signaled the carriage to slow down, opened the window and said to George Esther, "It was the KKK who did it."

"Yes, there will be a wanted warrant for KKK members throughout Houston tomorrow."

"There's no need to deal with the scene for now. Tomorrow, the people of Houston will know what kind of atrocities the KKK has committed!" After Chen Zhengwei finished speaking, he pulled the bell and the carriage immediately sped up.

Soon, the group disappeared into the darkness.

George Esther then wiped the rain off his face and looked at his men.

The Houston detectives had different looks on their faces.

Some people suppressed their anger, some kept their heads down and said nothing, and some appeared calm on the surface but kept clenching their fists in their sleeves.

These people may have a little conscience, but not much.

Mainly because this is a southern state, the white people here are accustomed to the atmosphere of white supremacy, and when someone challenges this status, they often feel extremely angry.

"If you don't want to do it, you don't have to come tomorrow! If anyone knows about the KKK, please tell me. If I find out that any of you have any connection with the KKK, I will throw you straight into jail!" George Esther seemed to know what they were thinking.

"If you don't want to get yourself into trouble and implicate others, remember that what happened here was done by the KKK!"

George Esther continued.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

A moment later, George Esther led the team back to Houston.

However, a few people were left nearby to prevent anyone from disrupting the scene.

……

What happened that night spread throughout Houston's upper class circles before dawn.

The wealthy people throughout Houston felt angry on the one hand, and fear deep in their bones on the other.

At the same time, the news reached Washington.

Late at night, President Rutherford Hayes came to his study in his pajamas, where the Attorney General was already waiting.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. President!" the Attorney General first apologized.

"I know it must be something important, you can tell me now!" Hayes sat behind the desk.

"That Chinese man, Zhengwei Chen, appeared in Houston! The personnel he mobilized should also be heading towards Houston!" said the Attorney General.

"Houston? What happened there?" Hayes asked with a frown.

"He had sent some of his men to Houston to fight with local gangs for the port. Then some of his men were killed by the KKK..."

"He went there for revenge!" the Attorney General said in a deep voice.

"So far, several congressmen and wealthy businessmen have been killed! And some of them had nothing to do with the KKK! He killed them simply to establish his authority and make others fear him!"

"This guy is the cancer of this country!" President Rutherford Hayes said angrily.

Whenever he heard anything related to Chen Zhengwei, he would feel very bad.

Chen Zhengwei's existence is like a fishbone stuck in a person's throat to the United States.

It is impossible to vomit it out or take it out, causing constant pain and even death.

It is more troublesome than Britain and France.

"How many people are there around him? How many people does the Department of Justice have in Houston?" Hayes asked directly.

"Probably dozens of them...most of them are Germans. The Ministry of Justice doesn't have many staff in Houston. By the time our people arrived, his other subordinates had also arrived." The Attorney General said helplessly.

That's why the FBI was created.

However, there is still a long way to go before we can have a certain degree of control across the United States.

After a moment, Hayes asked thoughtfully, "Is the KKK still serious in Texas? I remember that the Anti-KKK Act was issued before!"

“Yes, although after the federal withdrawal, many people felt that their demands were met and the influence of the KKK began to weaken... but there are still quite a few people, and they have been semi-openly present in the society of the Southern states.”

"From the most ordinary farmers to those state legislators, they may all be members of the KKK."

"And there are many other organizations besides the KKK."

"So can we do something?" President Hayes saw this as an opportunity.

The white supremacist organization and that Chinese person...

Although he is white, he does not like white supremacist groups in the Southern states.

Because those people not only believed that white people were the most superior and advocated racial segregation, but also opposed the reconstruction of the South, opposed the Republican Party, and tried to restore the supremacy of state rights in the Southern states...

This is a bunch of cancer.

Now a group of tumors have encountered another big tumor.

And compared to Chen Zhengwei, he really prefers those damn KKK members.
